The great thing about travelling by bike is that you get to see so much more than you do in a car. If you want to stop and take in the views, well, no problem. There is a great deal to see around Llandrindod Wells, and some great roads from which to see it. Hills, valleys and spectacular vistas reward the rider in so many places around Powys.

Comfort for you, comfort for your bike

Basing a tour of the area at Greylands Guest House is a great idea. Not only will you have comfortable, friendly accommodation, starting the day with a good breakfast to keep you going, but also Tony is full of local knowledge which he is happy to share when planning your routes. This is a real short cut to finding just the sort of roads that you are looking for.

There is a garage available for bikers to store your pride and joy overnight, out of the weather and in the dry. You can get a good night's rest and so can your bike. The roads here are so inviting, you won't want to be stopping during the day, so a good rest is essential.

This is where the websmith butts in: As a biker myself, I can thoroughly recommend the Lladrindod Wells to Newtown road. Rumour has it that there are 365 bends, one for each day of the year. I have never counted them as I am always too busy having fun on my FireBlade for that. What I can say is that there are plenty of them from the fast and sweeping to the eye-bulging braking types. Lovely!
